You already running the x32 version or is this a leap of faith?

[Bokishi]

Taking the leap after being scared for 6 months. It's ok so far and 4GB Ram addressing makes things feel smoother than XP. I even got itunes to install even though it does not support 64-bit

[Meshugger]

My new rig!

 

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300

2 GB DDR2 RAM

MSI GeForce 7900GTO 512Mb RAM

Abit Ab9 Pro

Onboard Dolby Digital 5.1 Live

17" Acer LCD monitor

250 Gb + 80 Gb HDD

 

2 GB DDR2 RAM <-- 4GB DDR2 667mhz RAM

 

And an Auzentech Prelude 7.1 is on its way as well. Finally i can have EAX 5.0 in 5.1-speaker-mode through a single optical cable (The X-Fi can only transform 2-channel through optical when talking about gaming).

[Bokishi]

Nice, did you get Vista 64-bit so you can address that 4GB in its entirety?

Is it true that there's a new 1GB video card ATI Crossfire?

I'm even thinking of changing my CPU and motherboard... what's the strongest Intel Dual Core Processor at the moment? Are there any 64 bit Intel CPUs yet?

 

#1 Yes but don't waste your money. Buy a 1gb card when we actually need 1gb cards, and those 1gb chipsets will probably be of a much higher quality by that time.

 

The 2900 ATI/AMD series has been beaten by the 8800 Nvidia series in DX 9 but in DX 10, ATI/AMD owns : ( So if you already have 64 bit vista and plan to play alot of DX 10 games, but a 2900XT if your wallet runs deep.

 

#2 this isn't a dual core, this is a quad core ; ) <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115026" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115026</a>

 

I might sell my sister for that processor... If I had one. But I wouldn't personally drop $1200 down on a processor. Especially when next year this time, that processor will be half the price it is now.

 

This is what I have, it looks much more feasible my friend.... And It's awesome once OC'ed. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819115028

 

 

#3 duh.

 

I went Vista 64 bit a week after release. That day I cried man tears and started editing DLL's, and in the process tried to ram my head into a meat-grinder (not really)

 

It's better now, but I didn't reinstall Vista (ran XP after a format) until about a month ago. It's fairly nice, though no company really seems to care to make 64 bit drivers. I suppose everyone will switch over time, but alas, I really don't see aunt marge installing any drivers..... Windows gots a problem on its handz

Until i can run PS:T and other older games from 90's on it + until there's support for EAX in Vista, i will stay with XP.

Wait - you're telling me Vista can't run SCUM or Infinity Engine games?!

Last i've heard, the support was a bit iffy. But Windows XP suffered from the same issues, give it another 6 months or so.

I envy your setup more and more every day. What did you do with your old monitor?

[Bokishi]

I cleaned it and gave it to my sister for xmas. It was great, I didn't have to buy anything lol

You cheap bastard.

 

So when are you planning on upgrading to DDR3? It's probably the only thing left in your system that isn't bleeding edge.

[Bokishi]

I dunno man, also there's lots of stuff in my system that's not bleeding edge anymore, such as that I still only have a dual core, and I lack 3-way SLI ultras. That's totally not bleeding edge
